The enemy retreated south of Bakhmut. What should be expected from the Russians

Military expert Konstantin Mashovets analyzes the situation under Bakhmut today. Ukrainian troops have a stable success, but the Russians are explicitly aimed at counterattack. In the Bakhmut direction, the enemy apparently makes its main efforts to prevent the Armed Forces to the South and Northern Cities to occupy convenient areas and borders for active action against the city itself.

In particular, to the north of the city in the defense strip of the 200th Separate Rifle Brigade (OMSBR) of the enemy (the 14th Army Corps \ AK of the Northern Navy), its command formed a consolidated tactical detachment (to the battalion) -3 assault company, equipped with convicted citizens of the Russian Federation). It is obvious that in the near future it will use it for assaulting actions.

Probably in the direction of Dubovo-Vasylivka-Orikhovo-Vasylivka (as an alternative-in the direction of berry-Bogdanivka). For his part, south of M. Bakhmut, despite the fact that in the area of ​​S. Klischivka and the village of Andriyivka, the enemy during the last days was slightly gathered (respectively, the units of the 1307th SMEs It is quite obvious - in the near future the enemy will try to restore the position in these areas.

It is likely that he will try to use the 102nd SMEs from the 150th MSD in the area of ​​Klischivka (or units of the 4th OMSBR from the 2nd AK) again, and in the area of ​​Andriyivka, probably 72nd OMSBR. . At present, the enemy is actively trying to counteract the advanced units of the Armed Forces south of M. Bakhmut in order to keep them at the border of the railway, which leads from Bakhmut to Gorlovka. In fact, he has his main defense border here.
